Microsoft’s hideous new logo

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

For whatever reason, Microsoft has decided that Windows needs a new logo. Fine. Come up with something snazzy, then. Or simple and sleek like Apple’s logo.
But not this ugly simplistic block of colors a kid could make with 10 minutes of training on Paint. Do they really expect this to sell?
Worse yet, although [...]

The biggest tech-related mistake you’ll ever regret

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

You might be wondering what the headline means. The biggest tech-related mistake you’ll ever regret?

I am not one for lists. When I go to the market, I buy things at random. When I invite people to an event, I blindly mass text people in my contacts. When I navigate a ship, I only travel in straight lines.
But, the rest of the internet seems to disagree with [...]

Take the “IT” out of your “Fixt!”

from Matthew D. Sarrel at PC Mag
Rarely does a call to tech support “teach a man to fish.” Heck, often enough, you don’t even get a fish out of it. Why not learn to be your own support tech?
